Hi, my name is Ruben, creator of Iron & Blood, a homebrew fantasy world based on dark age Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxon England.
I'm a freelance digital artist who loves bringing to life the fantastical, the imaginative, and the extraordinary. I'm a storyteller at heart, and I believe in the power and history of illustration to communicate a story.
I'm on a lifelong mission to create works of art that stir the heart and inspire imagination.
Let me bring your story to life!
